The harp is the symbol of Ireland, It represents Erin's mythology, its beginnings of human life here, its poetry, its music, its sacred magic and even it's most famous brew, and heads our tax forms here too.

For all this many people visit Ireland without seeing a harp, seeing a harp actually being played and even harder to find a singer, poet or storyteller being accompanied by a harp ...

... but this is changing.

Harps Around Ireland is a project to showcase harpers in Ireland and harpers visiting Ireland along with the venues they perform in around Ireland. Harp makers and restorers in Ireland, many of whom do not have an online presence yet, are featured here too.
